The Havard IV's

A line up of Havard Mk IV's
Details: Place-Jodhpur , Ci- 1965


This is a great picture. Imagine a young flight cadet with a few hours of flying coming over to a lineup of planes like this and think, "Now We're talkin!"

These planes are the Harvard IV D ac. That is what Dad's log book mentions them to be. I could not find out much about the plane, but

Dad attended the AFFC (Air Force Flying College) at Jodhpur from 17th Mar 1965 to 04th Sep 1965. So the picture seems to have been taken some time in the middle of 1965. Out there he did a total of 74 hours of flying, 42 day and 3.30 night dual and 28 day and 2.30 night solo.

This site does tell us a bit more of the Havard and a few new snaps.
